I just got it and I absolutely love it! I wanted a long narrow table that could seat 8 without a leaf. The leaves go in easily and it can seat 12 with the leaves. I also bought espresso Harvest chairs. This table receives more compliments than any other aspect of my renovation!

I ordered some patio furniture from Target. It came about a week later than their furthest-out estimated delivery date and was a bit of a nuisance to assemble, but I like it now. If you're looking for real sturdiness, I would probably go with the Pottery Barn table instead of the Target one, simply because the Target table is "some assembly required." I have an assembly-required table in my house (not from Target, but real wood), and it's not as sturdy as my non-assembly-required table. I've had to re-tighten the legs a few times. Of course, this may speak more poorly of my own assembling skills than of the table itself.... :) Oh, and you might want to check on how you'd return it and if you'd have to pay for return shipping if you seriouly think there's a chance you might want to send it back. The Additional Info tab on the link you provided says that it can't be returned to any store, which would mean that you could be stuck with re-packing and shipping a 132-pound table if you decide you really don't want it.

Most PB furniture (other than their upholstered/slipcovered pieces) are manufactured outside the US, specifically for Pottery Barn.

I've had the PB Schoolhouse stools for 4 months and so far they are very nice. I have the mahogany finish. What I really like is the 26 inch height. I bought some previous that were standard 24 inch and they were just a little too short for my counter. The only thing that bothers me is that there are two rungs in the front. On my stool they are a little too close and it's uncomfortable to rest your foot. I'm thinking of taking it off and touching it up if needed. Other than that I like them, they are pricey though. I had a coupon which helped a lot. I also have PB parsons chairs with slipcovers that have lasted 10 years. Eventually I'll get new covers, maybe when the kids stop being so messy!
